Jennifer's Body Reviewed at The Cinematheque

Just posted my latest review over at The Cinematheque. It is for the Megan Foxxed teenage-girl-as-monster movie, brilliantly titled Jennifer's Body. That may seem a rather facetious brilliantly, but the simplistic title does sum up the underlying theme of the movie. Typical horror movie appearance aside, Jennifer's Body, written by that horsefly with a stripper's pole, Diablo Cody, is an updating on many of the same motifs splayed out in De Palma's Carrie. By the way, am I the only one that has noticed Jennifer's Body is about a girl possessed by the devil and it was written by someone named Diablo? I guess so. Anyway, enough babbling. Go ahead and read my review if you're interested in what else I spout off about on the subject.
